What's wrong with me!?

Thank goodness, it was finally time for study hall and then one more class before heading home. Inuyasha liked the block scheduling that had started this year. It caused him to have to take a late lunch, but having only 4 classes a day made it worth it. He walked down the hall quickly, pushing through the river of people flooding the halls. He looked forward to his study hall not only because it gave him time to catch up on his homework, but because he now got to spend a whole block with Kagome. He soon entered the auditorium and found his seat. Kagome was already seated and smiled at Inuyasha as he sat down.

"What's up, Inu?" She asked as she pulled her black notebook out of her backpack.

"Nothin'." He said. "I'm going to do some homework.. You?"

"Writing." She answered proudly.

Kagome opened the black book and began scrabbling something onto the pages. Inuyasha watched her. Kagome's hand seemed to flow across the page, leaving a trail of purple ink. He couldn't make out the words she was leaving on the white pages, but he could tell whatever was there was beautiful.

Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha stealing a peek at what she was doing. She smiled.

"Trying to sneak a peek at a girl's journal , are we?" She said accusingly.

Inuyasha smiled shyly. "Oh, No, no... Just admiring your hand writing…"

"Sure…"

Kagome went back to her writing, and Inuyasha took his literature book out of his pack. Did she really think he was trying to look at what she was writing? He would never think of violating her privacy like that. What she wrote was her business. He opened his book and began to start on the homework his teacher had gave him the block before. As he started to put his pen to the notebook in front of him, he noticed Kagome peering over his shoulder.

"What'cha doin?" She cutely asked.

"Homework.. Trying to sneak a peek at a guy's homework, are we?"

Kagome laughed. "No, just wondering.. Am I bothering you?"



Kagome was bothering him? He would never think it.

"Not at all…" He answered. "I can't focus today..."

Kagome looked concerned.

"What's up? Anything I can help with?"

Inuyasha blushed. She was the main reason for his squished brain today. He couldn't stop thinking about her during class, and now that she was right in front of him he couldn't even THINK of thinking. She was beautiful- sitting there waiting for his response. Her dark eyes glittered, her ebony hair flowing over her shoulders, spilling splashes of color onto her pale skin.

"Would you like to hang out with me and the gang after school? We'll go for a drive."

"If that's what I can do to help, sure." Kagome beamed.

"Great!" Inuyasha said. "You know where to meet me after school then.. But right now I'm going to try to get this homework done so that this drive of ours can be something that actually happens."

Kagome nodded and went back to writing in her notebook. Inuyasha stared for a second and then began on his homework. He sighed. Entirely smitten- he knew it. His weakness for her was written all over his face. If she hadn't noticed, she was completely blind. Even Miroku had made it a point to ask him what happened the previous night and Miroku usually didn't notice things like that. Of course, he had to think of Sango and Miroku's "RELATIONSHIP." Everyone knew that they were head-over-heels for each other, but they didn't see it at all. He knew he didn't want to be in a blind relationship with Kagome. He wasn't going to spend day after day fretting over whether or not she felt the same way. However, was he really ready to come out and say how he felt? I mean, he hadn't known her that long! Also, what about her being so heartbroken over her ex? He really was in a complicated situation. Maybe he'd have a blind-relationship for a little while… but just a little while.

Kagome worried that something more was bothering Inuyasha. He had been acting funny since yesterday night. Maybe he was put off by her neediness. Also the fact that she had splurged information that she probably shouldn't have shared with anyone she had only known a few hours. Her face blushed and she sunk down into her seat a little further. What was she thinking? She would defiantly have to have a talk with Sango on this matter. Maybe she would have some sort of insight that Kagome did not have. Besides, it would be good to make that awkward feeling in her gut go away before she went on a drive. She didn't want to completely embarrass herself for the second time in 2 days.

She sighed as she heard the bell ring.

"Well, I guess I'm off to art class!" Kagome said as she stood up, throwing her stuff into her backpack. "I'll see you after school."



Inuyasha smiled. "Yep!"

He smirked as Kagome made her way quickly up the stairs of the auditorium and out the door.

"So that's why you've been so dumb today…" Inuyasha heard a voice say from behind him.

Miroku popped up, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"We're going for a drive, eh? This is the first I've heard of it."

Inuyasha gave Miroku a nudge, knocking him off balance.

"Just ask Sango to come with us and you guys meet me at my car after school, Okay?" Inuyasha said, throwing his book into his backpack.

"No problem, We'll be there.. Just no kissy faces at Kagome while we're in the car." Miroku joked.

"Only if you don't grope Sango while in my car…" Inuyasha smiled.

"AH! Me not grope the beautiful Sango?! Have you ever heard such foolishness?!" Miroku fell into the isle-way looking foolishly terrified that Inuyasha would even say such a thing.

The pair shared a laugh as Inuyasha helped his friend up.

"Let's get to class before we end up with detention." Miroku laughed.
